ISLAMABAD – Pressure will be mounted on Pakistan to open up a military front in North Waziristan Agency after coming Eid, once the floodwater subsides, it is learnt.
The floods played havoc in the most parts of the country and they have somehow provided Pakistan a respite from the ever-growing US pressure to wage military offensive in NWA.
However, this ‘blessing in disguise’ would not last for a long time, as the moves are underway on part of the powerful Indo-US nexus to push Pakistan militarily into NWA in the days ahead.
Discussion with informed circles indicate that Pakistan Army was under immense pressure to jump into NWA last month and there were strong reports suggesting that NWA operation was on the cards. The slow and gradual rise of aggressive statements from Washington against the presumed militants offshoots in Pakistan are seen as a forecast of the American pressure that would gain momentum in near future.
Well aware of the fact that it is not an appropriate time to exert pressure on Pakistan for NWA offensive in the wake of international community’s support and sympathies for Pakistan, the US now sponsors a ‘unique’ kind of concern regarding the spread of militancy in Pakistan. It is now worried about the ‘eruption’ of militancy in the country’s flood-hit areas. This newly found US’ obsession follows the United Nations’ statements about the chances of ‘outbreak’ of extremist elements in the same region.
